Golden State’s Stephen Curry, whose 18 three-pointers were the most by any player in NBA history
in the first four playoff games of his career, missed his first five three-point tries before
finally hitting with 5:09 left to cut the Warriors’ deficit to 96-91.

Faried responded to Curry’s three-pointer with an alley-oop dunk, helping to settle down the
Nuggets, who saw much of their lead erased during the Warriors’ 11-0 run

Curry finished 1 for 7 from long range and with 15 points. Harrison Barnes led Golden State with
23 points and nine rebounds.
